I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2607 - 1189: 6th-Tier Earth Master
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
"Thank you, senior, for imparting the teachings."
Grateful for the guidance from Xu Sijiu, Chen Mobai offered the freshly brewed Enlightenment Tea by Tao Hua.
This top-grade Immortal Tea from the Immortal Gate showed their utmost respect.
Yet, after Xu Sijiu drank it casually, no visible effect appeared.
Clearly, to a Cultivating Void powerhouse, even a mere clone, the Enlightenment Tea was no different from plain tea, merely satisfying thirst.
"Fellow Daoist, with a Void Station present here, are you interested in joining our Taixu Express? In the future, for nearby parcels, I could deliver them straight to this spot."
Having savored the Enlightenment Tea, Xu Sijiu voiced his wish to linger.
"Oh, I’m not too clear on this joining matter. Could senior elaborate on the details?"
Now down to just 1 Dao merit, Chen Mobai was desperate enough to explore any earning opportunity. After all, Purple Cloud Galaxy’s resources guaranteed reaching Cultivating Void peak.
But Dao merits were essential for all that.
"Here’s how it works: Taixu Express charges postage by distance, standard 1 Dao merit, up to 5 Dao merits max."
"Taixu Ancestor claims half, Central Dojo headquarters takes the rest, distributed through star systems. Delivering this package to you nets around 0.3 Dao merits due to the long distance; shorter trips might yield only 0.1, though quicker."
"If you take this forsaken Void Station, I’ll share half my Dao merits with you, but you’d handle the deliveries. Lost parcels mean you compensate."
Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai’s keen enthusiasm quickly faded.
His cultivation stood merely at Divinity Transformation.
Though Central Dojo basked in Taixu Ancestor’s glory, Devil Cultivators from Mystic Palace could still lurk. Losing a parcel would bankrupt him completely.
"I’m grateful for the offer, senior, but my weak cultivation and no starting funds make it impossible for me."
With an apologetic expression, Chen Mobai shared his woes, and Xu Sijiu responded kindly without reproach.
"Your Heavenly Court brims with Spiritual Light, Void Spirit Patterns dancing around you. Cultivating Void lies easily ahead."
"Take my contact info. My true body resides at Xuanhu Dojo. Visit anytime to talk business."
"I see it plainly; parcel delivery is your innate gift."
Chen Mobai could only give a wry smile at Xu Sijiu’s remark, though inwardly he vowed never to courier in this life.
The pay was simply too meager.
Planet Merchant suited him far better.
Just then, Xu Sijiu passed Chen Mobai a strand of silver glow etched with arcane talismanic script. Refining it through Portal would add him as a friend for private chats later.
Such communication drained Power of Void; without Dao merit top-ups like phone credits, only ten yearly messages via the slowest route were free.
Chen Mobai inwardly grumbled at the constant need for money, planning to save those free messages for true emergencies.
"Safe travels, senior."
Xu Sijiu had reverted to a silver serpent form, soaring past Earth Element Star, as Chen Mobai escorted the Immortal Gate cultivators to bid him farewell beyond the Heavenly Curtain.
"Until we meet again!"
Before vanishing into the Void Tunnel, Xu Sijiu’s clone nodded to Chen Mobai in parting, then blazed as a sharp silver beam into the endless starry cosmos.
"The universe is unimaginably immense."
With Xu Sijiu gone, Qi Yuheng and the others, enlightened by his tales of the outside, burned with yearning.
Their cultivations had hit the Immortal Gate’s absolute ceiling.
To pursue Void cultivation next, even with Portal’s true functions unlocked by Chen Mobai, Dao merit limits rendered it mostly useless; heading out from Tianyang Star System remained the prime path.
Not necessarily to Xuanhu Dojo, but at least scouting Xuanyang Star System’s core.
"After refining the Ascension Dragon Gall Pill, we can divide it up to boost our cultivation, and then I’ll get ready to open the Portal."
Chen Mobai saw the looks on everyone’s faces and grasped their thoughts instantly.
Even though the Portal had brought them a Sixth Rank Lower-grade Peak Spirit Vein, just sufficient to support their Divinity Transformation advancement on the Earth Element Star, it wouldn’t allow those below to ascend anymore.
They were taking up every spot at the top.
The Immortal Gate could only thrive again if these Divinity Transformations departed.
Qi Yuheng and Chen Mobai had plotted this far in advance.
They planned to hold on until the Three Eyed Tribe’s planet vanished entirely from the Immortal Gate’s view, then release everything on the Earth Element Star and venture into the cosmos.
Now, armed with the Star Map and Xu Sijiu’s insights into the Purple Cloud Galaxy’s reality, they stood a better shot at superior prospects than past figures like Long Wei and Bai Guang Spirit Venerable once they set out.
"I hope that after leaving, there will be a day when I can return."
Qi Yuheng uttered these words emotionally upon hearing it.
"There certainly will be."
With a grin, Chen Mobai replied, before flicking his sleeve to harness the Portal’s might and send the group straight to Wangxian Peak.
Chen Mobai paused briefly upon spotting the half-brewed Enlightenment Tea from Tao Hua, instructing her to complete it before he gathered it up.
Xu Sijiu felt nothing from sipping it, yet for the Immortal Gate’s other cultivators, it stayed a supreme worldly treasure.
Chen Xiaohei had already consumed plenty, rendering it useless to her now.
Yan Bingxuan and Meng Huang, however, hadn’t been lucky enough to taste it.
Chen Mobai figured he’d hand this batch to Yan Bingxuan, while reserving his own Xiao Nanshan-grown supply for Meng Huang—her weak aptitude meant a single cup wouldn’t suffice for Nascent Soul Formation.
"Set everything else aside for the moment and collect herbs from the six small realms of the six great medicine factories to refine these elixirs."
Addressing Tao Hua, Three Extremes, and Yuan Xu—Immortal Gate’s top fifth-rank alchemist—Chen Mobai knew they’d handle crafting the Ascension Dragon Gall Pill and the rest.
Tao Hua, as a Divinity Transformation, would naturally take charge, though Yuan Xu, backed by Chen Mobai, wielded real influence too, particularly via his Guidance Book that guaranteed no mishaps.
"I’ve nothing to do anyway, let me help."
Narcissus seldom volunteered like this.
Chen Mobai welcomed it; a Divinity Transformation assisting with tasks would speed things up dramatically.
"Then I’ll head off to fix the Lingxiao Palace, Four Symbols Dao Palace, and the other war artifacts. The massive spiritual energy surge from firing the Chaos Primal Energy Cannon burned out many forbidden components; some will require extensive fixes..."
Cheng Xuan explained, though Chen Mobai realized he was tactfully noting the cannon’s destructive force.
Yet moments later, another memory surfaced for him.
"During the destruction of Ming Wang Star, I connected with the White Light Ancestor and saw her ensnared in the Death God’s whirlpool, so to keep her from succumbing, I remotely bestowed the Lingxiao Immortal Armor upon her..."
The sixth-rank Lingxiao Immortal Armor, heart of the Chaos Primal Energy Cannon, ranked as the Immortal Gate’s most prized asset. Sending it away to rescue Bai Guang left Chen Mobai wracked with guilt.
"White Light Ancestor was also trying to block the Death God to save our Immortal Gate. Anyone in your position would have done the same."
Qi Yuheng voiced this on behalf of the Immortal Gate, absolving and praising Chen Mobai’s noble choice.
"Alas, this means that we can no longer activate the Chaos Primal Energy Cannon again. Let’s see if in the future, there’s a chance to refine a new one based on the designs Ancestor Yun Ya left."
Ever strict with himself, Chen Mobai pondered ways to make up for losing the Lingxiao Immortal Armor prior to his departure from the Immortal Gate.
"There’s no rush; the urgent matter is to first integrate the sixth-rank spirit veins into the Earth Element Star."
Finally, Yunhai, fixated on the blazing red crystal clutched by Chen Mobai, spoke up.
As an Array Master, he viewed the Chaos Primal Energy Cannon’s drain on the Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation’s millennia-old spiritual reserves as a severe setback, yet also a prime chance for renewal.
With insights into the seven-stage Celestial River and Star Array gained from the Portal, bolstered by the Purple Cloud Palace's prior arrangements, he burned with eagerness to put his newfound knowledge into practice by reshaping the planet's spiritual veins.
"Then Yunhai and I will handle this spirit vein, and the rest is up to you all."
Chen Mobai nodded, seeing the wisdom in Yunhai's suggestion. With a sweep of his sleeve, he triggered the Portal, instantly ferrying himself and Yunhai to Crimson Mountain.
Despite being the Immortal Gate's foremost Earth Master, Chen Mobai proceeded with utmost caution throughout this spirit vein merging.
He even called upon Yuan Xu for a time, tasking him to run simulations of every step using the Guidance Book to confirm flawlessness before advancing.
Yet it was exactly this rigorous method that stretched the fusion of this sixth-rank fire spirit vein across five full years.
For Chen Mobai and his fellow Divinity Transformation cultivators, however, such a span felt no longer than a fleeting instant.
On that fateful day, the Crimson Mountain range erupted in savage tremors, all Dance Tool Dao Academy students already safely evacuated in advance.
In addition to Chen Mobai and Yunhai, Cheng Xuan along with the Immortal Gate's other Divinity Transformation powerhouses hurried to the scene, desperate to behold the awe-inspiring spectacle directly.
Integrating a sixth-rank spirit vein marked uncharted territory for the Immortal Gate.
Should it succeed, Chen Mobai would etch his name as the Immortal Gate's pioneering sixth-rank Earth Master.
Rumble!
Thunderous quakes roared through the Crimson Mountains, their fury reaching across half of Earth Element Star. Right then, a vivid crimson spiritual glow rocketed into the heavens.
Suddenly sensing an anomaly, Chen Mobai turned his eyes toward the Yuping Small Realm.
